An anime game that might not be good? Whaaa? This week the gang figures out if JRPGs are good, if they should be cancelled, Kelly lets us know if he thinks Apex Legends is good or should be cancelled, and Dave tells us about his new gf, Lara Croft. Also apparently that Jump Force game leaked early, and people have some *feelings* about it. We a ...…

Due to a big-business snafu we somehow managed to get RE2 early this week, so we're piping out our feelings on it before the officially, doctor-prescribed time. There's some zombie talk this week, be it in Racoon City, on the Island of Memories, or just discussing how the characters in Steph's Persona 5 playthrough are doing. We also shit-talk ...…

We discuss what we remembered from health class this week, and it turns out there might still be some lessons to learn! Kelly also did a good job of poisoning us this week, by giving us a beer so strong we had no choice but to get drunk. Steph's been spending some nights in the wood, Kelly's been tuning up his racing whip, Dave needs you to kno ...…

It's the true 'Nick at Night' over here. There's some good film talk, there's some video game discussion, Norris gets upset about our 2018 Game of the Year list, but most importantly we play the game that's sweeping the nation: Nickelodeon, or Porn?

It's that fighting time of year! Where everyone at the SHU crew dons their Gi's, fills their boxing gloves full of rolls of pennies, tapes razor blades to their headbands, and gets ready for a good ol' video game donnybrook.

Happy holidays y'all! None of us are around to podcast! So we recorded a holiday 'Questionable Questions' spectacular!

Some good questions include, but are not limited to: what our TED Talks ...…

The gang just talks about cars for like 20 minutes today, before we get into some discusiion on our pre-Metal Gear Marathon jitters, and then pretending to know why old british tv frame rate ruined the playstation classic.

It's not gross, honestly. It's a medical term. Everyone learns some new words this week. We decide that the Chosen Undead is a comrade while The Doom Guy is pure libertarian. We imagine what a remake of The Thing starring only Seth Rogen would look like. And we really dig into Dave's growing salt pile. All this and more on a podcast about video ...…

Also, lists on lists on lists! Do you like people rattling off the names of video games? Then do we have a news segment for you! Hosts: C ...…

It's been a long time coming. This week the gang dishes out on Spider-Man and Dragon's Quest 11. I don't want to spoil anything but they might be pretty good. A new segment is also introduced this week, in which the gang rationally and calmly discusses people and topics from the last week that bears some sober analysis. We're calling it the bul ...…

There are specific moves you need to do right, or you just look silly. This week we all agree that video games shouldn't be in the Olympics. We also agree that gamers shouldn't be allowed outside. We agree on a lot of things. We answer a bunch of questions from the Discord, agree that Henry Cavill is a fuck-boi, and discuss the recent controver ...…

Also discuss ...…

There's a moment in this episode where it kind of gets away from us, and I'd like to say we brought it back but that's just not true. This week, Dave honestly weighs his Vegas odds, Kelly is worried about the Night Elves, Norris converts to fast rolling, and Matt has some pointed questions about everyone maintaining their essences.

We start this episode with Mike trying to get out of his wifely Zelda duties, in a conversation that makes sense to us but probably nobody else. This week it's all about beers that kind of sound like genitalia, fun facts about eastern European nations, and an after-action report from our XCOM generals in the fight against alien bastards. Hosts: ...…

I think we've decided vapes are cool now, folks.

Hey. It's E3 week. Did you hear about the games. Hosts: Norris, David, Mike, Matt Beer of the Week: A bunch of Unlabeled Beers Music by Sebastian Bender

If somehow you're someone who cares about Avengers spoilers but haven't seen the film, well, whatever listen to this podcast anyways. Spoilers are good for you, and life is cruel. It's all about that recent movie where the Muppet Babies fought Space Grimace. I'm just glad to finally see a film that's endorsing men who wear jewelry. Beer of the ...…

Bar drunk or casino lizard: who would win in a fight!? This week the topic starts with whether or not it's socially acceptable at 30 to drink 2 litres of Grower's Peach Cider, which transitions nicely into our spoiler-free feelings about the new Avenger's film. We argue which member of the Avengers is the most doable, everyone agrees that Krato ...…

Kelly's a tired boy this week, so we try to determine the best video game drug to wake his ass up. He also impresses us with his deep knowledge of the German language.

Five people enter in a room, ready to do battle with the Verhoeven himself. But, how many will leave unscathed? It's that time of year, y'all, Verhoevenia!

Get in on it now before you research what cryptocurrency actually is and realize it's kind of a scam! Internet money! Plug into the money! This week the gang reminisces about very s ...…

The team takes a strong stance on the wizarding world this week. I don't know how we started arguing about stupid Harry Potter nonsense but it went far longer than reasonable. This week we celebrate Dave tipping over the odometer by explaining to him the concept of "second puberty." In turn Dave lets us know about his finding "A Way Out" in a n ...…

It's argument ad absurdum over here, as the boys pretend they know what fallacies are. Which, logically goes right into a twenty minute discussion about how Goku has the CTE from repeated blows to the head. There's some further talk about Drake's plan for Fortnite, how Geralt's soul is still burning, and that the makers of Inside are getting in ...…
